On Thursday, the professional network reported that sales rose 59% in the second quarter to $363.7 million, as the site attracted more users and continued to expand its core recruiting services. It beat analyst estimates on both revenue and net income, with profit of $3.7 million.

“Accelerated member growth and strong engagement drove record operating and financial results,” LinkedIn’s CEO Jeff Weiner said in a statement.

Immediately after the earnings release, shares of LinkedIn moved higher, gaining more than 7%, after rising 4.5% on Thursday, to close at $213.00

It was the latest beat for LinkedIn, which has managed to consistently issue strong earnings reports since it went public in 2011, an accomplishment that has evaded several of its Internet peers, such as Zynga and Groupon. The quarter was boosted by an increase in LinkedIn’s membership, as it grew 37% to 238 million. Those users are also clicking more, as the number of page views rose to 11.7 billion, up 25% from the year-ago period.

“It looks like a consistent high-growth quarter for LinkedIn,” said Mark Mahaney, a RBC Capital Markets analyst. “The market opportunity they’re attacking is large enough to support these kind of growth rates.”

The company’s core recruiting tools business saw sales increase 69% from the year ago period to $205.1 million. Meanwhile its marketing Solutions business, which includes advertising, jumped 36% to $85.6 million from the year ago. Linkedin also saw sales in premium subscriptions grow 68% to $73.0 million.

Though its recruitment business remains its largest segment, LinkedIn has spent the past quarter ramping up its advertising business and establishing itself as a mobile and desktop hub for business news. During the period, it released a slew of products to that end, including a new mobile app experience for users, search on mobile, and sponsored updates, posts that are promoted by brands. The company also acquired Pulse, a news reader app in April of this year.

Shares of LinkedIn have rose 122% over the past 12 months. But LinkedIn’s stock has faced some resistance at these heights. After breaching $200 per share in May of this year, the stock has bounced around in recent months, falling as low as $160, amid concerns that the stock was getting pricey compared to its peers. Analysts have also wondered how long the company could continue beating Wall Street’s estimates. The stock currently trades at roughly 60 times estimates for 2013’s EBITDA.

LinkedIn, which has often been conservative in its earnings guidance, said it expects sales to come in between $367 to $373 million in the third quarter, with adjusted EBITDA of $81 to $83 million. For the full year, it lifted its forecast to sales of $1.46 billion to $1.48 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $340 to $355 million.
